public BeanDescriptor(Class beanClass, Class customizerClass) { this.beanClassRef = getWeakReference((Class)beanClass); this.customizerClassRef = getWeakReference((Class)customizerClass); String name = beanClass.getName(); while (name.indexOf('.") >= 0) { name = name.substring(name.indexOf('.")+1); } setName(name); } Create a BeanDescriptor for a bean that has a customizer.
